Description of lesson (if you were to describe to a parent what was happening in the classroom for this lesson, what would you say in a few paragraphs). We will begin class with a small discussion about what Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells are. Only a small amount of information will be given. Students will then be given the "Teach" handout located above in which they will read about Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. The rest of the information will be discovered by the students during the activity. Students will be able to click on the pictures located in the "Learn" document which will take them to various sites where they can learn interactively about the cells. Various questions will then be answered based on what the students have learned.
